    Kujalleq Nutaaq ERHVERVSUDVIKLINGS FORSLAG for Kommune Kujalleq Version 1.0 - 2020 Innovation South Greenland A/S, Torvevej 34, Postboks 313, 3920 Qaqortoq, Greenland Oqarasuaat +299 537777, e-mail: [email protected] Forord Innovation South Greenland arbejder målrettet for at få udviklingen i gang i hele Sydgrønland. Dette dokument afspejler anbefalingerne til Kommunalbestyrelsen. 1. Ser man på infrastrukturen er det gennem en årrække blevet svært at rejse rundt i Kommunen. 2. Det er en udfordring at få vareforsyninger, dyrt og svært at sende varer fra sydgrønland og svært at holde møder osv. Af disse og flere andre årsager er udviklingen gået nærmest i stå. 3. Resultatet har været at der er sket en gradvis en fraflytning. Desuden har personer med højere kompetencer fået gode jobs andre steder. Det er ganske enkelt blevet svært at skabe et livsgrundlag på et personligt plan, for familier og for erhvervslivet. Derfor har man etableret Innovation South Greenland A/S for at skabe vækst, udvikling og rådgivning af iværksættere. En konkret opgave som er blevet givet Innovation South Greenland A/S er at finde en løsning for Narsarsuaq i et nyt scenarie. Det vigtige er imidlertid at se på hele Sydgrønland som en sammenhængende region. Den første forudsætning er at skabe håb og troværdighed. Dernæst at man får en tidssvarende infrastruktur på plads. Ydermere skal der opdyrkes en iværksætterkultur som understøttes af igangsætning af konkrete projekter. Sidst og ikke mindst skal der tiltrækkes investeringer udefra og indgås bilaterale aftaler som kan styrke regionen. Erhvervsudviklingen skal baseres på et tæt samarbejde med Erhvervslivet, Kommunen, Selvstyret og Uddannelsesinstitutionerne i kommunen.

Over the last two decades, the flux of icebergs into Greenland’s fjords and coastal waters has increased, concurrent with changes in mass loss and dynamics of Greenland’s marine-terminating outlet glaciers. Icebergs impact fjord circulation and stratification, freshwater flux, and ecosystem structure and pose a hazard to marine navigation and infrastructure, yet they remain a relatively understudied component of the ice–ocean system. Icebergs are easily detected in optical satellite imagery, 5 but manual analysis to derive an iceberg size distribution time series is time prohibitive and partially cloudy scenes pose a challenge to automated analysis. Here we present a novel, computationally simple machine learning-based cloud mask for Landsat 7 and 8. This mask is incorporated into a larger iceberg delineation algorithm that allows us to extract iceberg size distributions, including outlines of individual icebergs, for cloud-free and partially cloud-covered Landsat scenes.

  • Ilulissat Icefjord
    World Heritage Scanned Nomination File Name: 1149.pdf UNESCO Region: EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Ilulissat Icefjord DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 7th July 2004 STATE PARTY: DENMARK CRITERIA: N (i) (iii) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 28th Session of the World Heritage Committee Criterion (i): The Ilulissat Icefjord is an outstanding example of a stage in the Earth’s history: the last ice age of the Quaternary Period. The ice-stream is one of the fastest (19m per day) and most active in the world. Its annual calving of over 35 cu. km of ice accounts for 10% of the production of all Greenland calf ice, more than any other glacier outside Antarctica. The glacier has been the object of scientific attention for 250 years and, along with its relative ease of accessibility, has significantly added to the understanding of ice-cap glaciology, climate change and related geomorphic processes. Criterion (iii): The combination of a huge ice sheet and a fast moving glacial ice-stream calving into a fjord covered by icebergs is a phenomenon only seen in Greenland and Antarctica. Ilulissat offers both scientists and visitors easy access for close view of the calving glacier front as it cascades down from the ice sheet and into the ice-choked fjord. The wild and highly scenic combination of rock, ice and sea, along with the dramatic sounds produced by the moving ice, combine to present a memorable natural spectacle. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Located on the west coast of Greenland, 250-km north of the Arctic Circle, Greenland’s Ilulissat Icefjord (40,240-ha) is the sea mouth of Sermeq Kujalleq, one of the few glaciers through which the Greenland ice cap reaches the sea.

  • A Pilot Project to Undertake Genetic Stock of Origin
    International Atlantic Salmon Research Board SAG(14)5 Identification of Genetic Stock of Origin of European Atlantic Salmon Captured at West Greenland for the Years 2002-2012 Not to be cited without prior reference to the authors 6 May 2014 SAG(14)5 Identification of Genetic Stock of Origin of European Atlantic salmon Captured at West Greenland for the Years 2002-2012. This draft final report was prepared in fulfilment of a contract to undertake genetic stock identification of Atlantic salmon captured at West Greenland for the period 2002-2012. The project sponsors were the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute for Northern Ireland (AFBINI), the International Atlantic Salmon Research Board (IASRB) of the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organisation (NASCO) and the Atlantic Salmon Trust (AST). Contributors to the report were Philip McGinnity (UCC), Paulo Prödohl (QUB), Caroline Bradley (QUB), Tim Sheehan (NOAA), Barb Lubinski (USGS), Tim King (USGS) and Tom Cross (UCC). Background Previous physical tagging (Reddin et al. 2012) and genetic stock identification studies (Gauthier-Ouellet et al 2009; Sheehan et al. 2010) of Atlantic salmon at continental scale suggest that fish from North America and Europe, and European fish from the Northern and Southern Multi-Sea-Winter (MSW) population complexes, contribute to the Atlantic salmon catch off West Greenland. However, little is known of the proportions of fish originating from different European regions and individual rivers within these regions. European Atlantic salmon caught at West Greenland appear to be predominantly, non- maturing one-sea-winter fish. These are fish that mature after two or more winters at sea, and are commonly known as 1SW non-maturing or multi-sea-winter (MSW) maturing fish.

  • The West Greenland Trawl Survey for Pandalus Borealis, 2020, with Reference to Earlier Results
    NOT TO BE CITED WITHOUT PRIOR REFERENCE TO THE AUTHOR(S) Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization Serial No. N7127 NAFO SCR Doc. 20/053 NAFO/ICES PANDALUS ASSESSMENT GROUP—October 2020 The West Greenland trawl survey for Pandalus borealis, 2020, with reference to earlier results. by AnnDorte Burmeister and Frank Farsø Rigét Greenland Institute of Natural Resources Box 570, 3900 Nuuk, Greenland Abstract A trawl survey is carried out in NAFO Subarea 1 and NAFO Division 0A east of 60°30’W, as a contribution to the assessment of the stock of the Northern Shrimp (Pandalus borealis). In 2020, 247 stations were fished in 30 fishing days; 187 stations provided data to the shrimp survey in all strata., except for stratum C0 and strata W8-2 and W9-4. In 2020, the annual trawl survey was conducted with a chartered vessel, the Islandic trawler Helga Maria. All the standard gear from the research vessel Paamiut (such as cosmos trawl, doors, all equipment such as bridles etc. Marport sensors on doors and headlines) were used, in attempt to make the 2020 survey as identical as possible with the previous year’s survey with Paamiut. The 2003 peak in total survey and fishable biomasses was followed by a continuous decline, reaching in 2014 the lowest levels since 1997. In aggregate, the stock has shown no clear trends since 2007. In fact, at short term (10 years), there has been fluctuations in the stock with ups and downs in biomass. The overall survey biomass increased by 13% to 378 Kt in 2020, little higher than the 2019 value at 334 Kt.
